What?
Looks like they had already received them on Saturday, and the Ukrainian crews are already trained. Mange tak, little Denmark. But then again, the Danes are no strangers to dealing with powerful tyrants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_of_the_Danish_Jews
Shall we have a look around and see who is out on the water today?
This site is so addictive. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:32.1/centery:45.7/zoom:8
Hmm, looks like the usual suspects.
How about a closeup.
Top (l to r)
- MYS TARHANKUT (RU) Offshore supply ship (the blue arrow pointed north east)
- Modu Crimea 2 (RU) platform (blue dot)
- Golicyno (UA) reserved (pink dot)
- Modu Sivash (RU) drilling jack (blue dot) This one is usually invisible until you zoom in on it, because there is usually a Ukrainian dot right on top of it. This one has just started moving north east.
Bottom (l to r)
- Modu Crimea 1 (RU) platform (blue dot)
- INYA (RU) offshore supply ship (blue arrow moving west)
- Shtormovaya (UA) reserved (pink dot)
- Arhangelskaya 7 (UA) reserved (pink dot) There are always two Russian ships and two Ukrainian ships to the east of them, the pictures of these two look like platforms.
Below those is a pink arrow, moving southwest, SULTAN (RU) fishing, and if you zoom in, an unidentified fishing vessel right next to it. Below those, under the advertisement, is TRI TOLSTAYAKA (RU) fishing, (pink arrow) moving northwest towards the other groups.
The little pink dot by Snake Island that seems to mark some kind of underwater wreck or obstruction seems to have disappeared a few days ago.
Just a typical Sunday evening out on the Black Sea.
Shall we check in on the grain thieves?
That would be the Matros Pozynich and possibly its sister ships,
The Matros Pozynich (Матрос Позынич) currently "out of range" and last seen off the coast of Syria. Sister ships are both underway in the east Mediterranean. More info here, different boat tracker: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/MATROS-POZYNICH-IMO-9573816-MMSI-273292990
And how about the Admiral Makarov? Did it catch fire, or not? Is it going to replace the Moskva as the Russian flagship in the Black Sea? According to this, the icebreaker is still at anchor in Murmansk.
There is also this ship tracking website, although it is offering to sell me "Ukrainian women". Maybe a honeypot. https://www.vesselfinder.com/ It says the icebreaker was last seen 8 days ago arriving at Murmansk May 21, 2022. Russian has two other Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates, the Admiral Grigorovich «Адмирал Григорович» and the Admiral Essen «Адмирал Эссен». Both have disappeared, utterly. Did one of them get repainted? What did happen on May 6?
